JavaMail: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException

 Hi

 yes i can send mail without using any authentication code when i use the localhost instead of the my own smtp server
after i did install the free smtp software on my machine .

now i have made the following changes in the code as per what u said

here is my changed code

package mailandbean;
import javax.mail.*;          //JavaMail packages
import javax.mail.internet.*; //JavaMail Internet packages
import java.util.*;           //Java Util packages
import javax. mail.Authenticator.*;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;

public class SendMailBean {


  public String send(String p_from,String p_to,String p_cc,String p_bcc,String p_subject,String p_message,String p_smtpServer) {
    String l_result = "<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>";
    // Name of the Host machine where the SMTP server is running
    String l_host = p_smtpServer;
    // Gets the System properties
    Properties props = System.getProperties();

    //user authentication
    javax.mail.Authenticator authenticator = new DefaultAuthenticator("username","passowrd");// here i put my username d password for the server access
  // props.put("mail.smtp.host","mail.moonmotors.co.nz");
      props.put("mail.smtp.host",l_host);
   props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
   Session sesion = Session.getInstance(props, authenticator);
    // Puts the SMTP server name to properties object

    props.put("mail.smtp.auth","true");

    // Get the default Session using Properties Object
    Session l_session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,null);

    l_session.setDebug(true); // Enable the debug mode

    try {
      MimeMessage l_msg = new MimeMessage(l_session); // Create a New message

      l_msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(p_from)); // Set the From address

      // Setting the "To recipients" addresses
      l_msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(p_to,false));

      // Setting the "Cc recipients" addresses
      l_msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,InternetAddress.parse(p_cc,false));

      // Setting the "BCc recipients" addresses

      l_msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,InternetAddress.parse(p_bcc,false));

      l_msg.setSubject(p_subject); // Sets the Subject

      // Create and fill the first message part
      MimeBodyPart l_mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
      l_mbp.setText(p_message);

      // Create the Multipart and its parts to it
      Multipart l_mp = new MimeMultipart();
      l_mp.addBodyPart(l_mbp);


      // Add the Multipart to the message
      l_msg.setContent(l_mp);

      // Set the Date: header
      l_msg.setSentDate(new Date());

      // Send the message
      Transport.send(l_msg);
      // If here,then message is successfully sent.
      // Display Success message
      l_result = l_result + "<FONT SIZE=4 COLOR=\"blue\"><B>Success!</B>"+
                 "<FONT SIZE=4 COLOR=\"black\"> "+

                 "<HR><FONT color=green><B>Mail was successfully sent to </B></FONT>: "+p_to+"<BR>";
      //if CCed then,add html for displaying info
      if (!p_cc.equals(""))
        l_result = l_result +"<FONT color=green><B>CCed To </B></FONT>: "+p_cc+"<BR>";
      //if BCCed then,add html for displaying info
      if (!p_bcc.equals(""))
        l_result = l_result +"<FONT color=green><B>BCCed To </B></FONT>: "+p_bcc ;

      l_result = l_result+"<BR><HR>";
    } catch (MessagingException mex) { // Trap the MessagingException Error
        // If here,then error in sending Mail. Display Error message.
